At Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, we believe the best way to understand the Australian people is to ask them directly. That's exactly what we’ve done, and the results are powerful, passionate, and profoundly honest.

We recently ran a nationwide survey asking everyday Aussies, “What’s on your mind?” The responses we received show a wide spectrum of real issues, from electricity bills to education policy, from the COVID-19 response to cultural division, and from climate mandates to the housing crisis. Below, we’ve summarised the key themes that emerged and included real voices, first names only, of the people who are speaking up.

Cost of Living and Economic Fairness

A common concern raised by members was the rising cost of living, especially for pensioners, regional Australians, and struggling families.

Paul told us how hard it is to make ends meet in rural WA. “Just a little extra in our pension would help,” he said.

Robert raised fears that the government’s new superannuation tax could be the beginning of a wider grab: “Why are they taxing superannuation at all?”

Mick suggested that homeowners could be a part of the solution to the housing crisis, “but instead of empowering us, the government just wants to tax us.”

Energy Policy and Net Zero Pushback

Many members were deeply concerned about the impact of Net Zero policies.

Patrick warned about job losses in the Hunter due to energy instability. “We produce some of the cleanest coal in the world. Burn it here. Don’t import junk solar panels from China.”

Bruce expressed frustration over being charged for feeding energy back into the grid: “Why are we paying for the government's lack of foresight?”

Dennis questioned the climate change narrative in schools: “It’s being taught like religion, not science.”

Children, Education, and Cultural Division

Education was another strong theme—not just curriculum content, but its social effects.

Kevin shared a painful conversation with his son, who said he was feeling anger towards certain groups of people, not out of malice, but confusion over perceived racial bias at school. “Education should teach equality, not superiority,” he said.

Daniel voiced a heartfelt call for adoption reform, saying the system fails children and deters stable families from adopting. “Let’s design a system that protects children and welcomes loving families.”

COVID-19 and Health Sector Concerns

Some of the longest and most emotional responses were about the fallout from COVID policies, mandates, and health governance.

Danielle, a nurse from Tasmania, painted a devastating picture of fraud, mismanagement, and avoidable tragedy in aged care. She wrote about vaccine injuries, suspicious deaths, and a broken NDIS system. Her message ended with a powerful call: “Justice is coming.”

Simone, also in aged care, recounted allegations of corruption in a health organisation that led to financial ruin for families and poor care for the elderly.

Civil Liberties and Discrimination

Members expressed anger over perceived discrimination and erosion of rights.

Steven flagged job ads excluding men or non-Indigenous applicants.

Daniel described the Child Support Agency as outdated and not-fit-for-purpose, calling for a full audit.

The Voice and Indigenous Affairs

Some respondents were clearly frustrated by identity politics and race-based policies.

Rhonda asked, “After sanctioning Israeli ministers, who does our government support in the Iran conflict?”

Others questioned The Voice and its implications for national unity and equality under the law.

What This Tells Us

These responses aren’t filtered through corporate media, activist lobbies or elite insiders, they’re raw, real, and Australian. From tax policy to schoolyard bias, from power prices to parental rights, this survey shows how broad and deeply felt the issues are.

You’ve told us what matters. And we’re listening.

This is why One Nation fights—not for inner-city elites, but for everyday Australians like you.
